Professional Judgment

These unusual circumstances may include one or more of the following: involuntary loss of employment, change in income, divorce, death, and/or private elementary or secondary education costs. In most cases, processing of professional judgments involving loss of income begins in June of the current award year. If you have additional educational costs that exceed the university's published cost of attendance, such as child care, study abroad, or additional tuition charges, please contact the Student Financial Aid Office.
